The Birth of Suzlon

Tulsi Tanti’s family was involved in a textile business in Surat, Gujarat. The mechanical engineer Tulsi was tending to the business which was not in the best of health due to high operating costs caused by high-priced electricity and frequent power outages. Mr Tanti started his hunt of exploring other alternatives for fueling the business’ need for power. His search ended with the purchase of two wind turbines in 1994. When he was able to produce his own electricity, other owners showed interest. That’s when Mr Tanti decided to exit the textile business and enter into the futuristic energy sector.

On one fine day in 1995, Mr Tanti formed Suzlon with the objective to give customers a complete package of wind energy services. Mr Tulsi was a world-renowned expert in renewable energy and his strategic acumen helped Suzlon transform itself into a global powerhouse in the energy sector.
